Tipo Ontem

I remember all the hustle
Like yesterday
Blood, sweat, and ambition
Keep us
I remember well who was there
Out of nowhere everything can change

I only keep the willingness
Always
I come back stronger
I'm at the forefront
Without forgetting what the street teaches
There are things that will never change

It seems like I went back in time, Wu-Tang style
Missing the past times like Brutan
This thing is crazy, my partner
Life is driven by money
Bums are on the grind all the time

I wanted to be in New York
I feel expensive, hold the shorts
Security guards around
I buy the whole mall

Son with braided hair
My white girl by my side
This was the life I had dreamed of

It may be difficult
But I will never stop
Real hip hop, man
I only bring true verses

Nine years are not nine days in search of gold
Many laughed at what I aimed for
Called me crazy
But only those who jumped off the boat are in panic today
If I had to go back, I would do it all over again

I kept my feet on the ground, my mind high
They are going in the opposite direction, they never caught up with me
I ran more than double, that's a fact
I left the employee status today they will only see me on stage

What makes me who I am
It's not a matter of perspective
At 15 I was already on this track
Deep down I always knew my place
I don't want to know who was wrong
My name has always been on that list
The kids applauded all the achievements
And now it's my turn, I won't fail

I remember your time when you asked me
Is this dream already over
Sitting in the room
In the early morning thinking if anyone feels like this
Now after having walked all this road that brought me here
I understand that it was marked, that the plan was made for me
You think it's easy, easy is to look easy even
Each piece being each beat having a part of me that only the crazy are seeing
I don't give up, I don't sell myself
I'm beyond time, in a state of presence
Living the moment
I know my direction well, even if it's against the flow
Without conforming to the standard
Fuck it I don't have a boss
Ego war I'm shielded
In the comedy scene, I refuse to be a clown
Get out of the shallow and go inside, life is like a sea
Go swim and die on the beach or learn to dive
Come on, man, don't stop, it's close, hurry up, run
Every mistake, learning
Every fall I'm stronger.

It seems like it was yesterday
I didn't even notice the time passing
The year was 99, and I DJ-Aha
Making hip hop, São Gonçalo germinate
In the middle of a nightmare, but trying to dream

They thought I was defeated
But those who thought I was wrong
Street without asphalt, house without sidewalk
Since I was born I am an enemy of the state

Even in hell it's good to know who you're with
Who grows in the mud, has no hope
I never had an inheritance, war stole my childhood
My intelligence was my form of revenge

I show myself to be spontaneous, smile and rhyme
I am a representative of Tanque, Catarina
If I'm on the mic it's shouting, and hands up
I took the scene by storm, changed the atmosphere

Listening to the Greek's beat is like meditating
I had some problems in the past, and I can remember
That I cried in the dark room, and no one was there
That when I was nobody, few were there

You can speak ill, but I never changed for anything
I'm the same kid!
(I'm the same kid!)
With the same people around
(With the same people around)

Gossip criticizes, but it's impossible to do the same
I was born to shine!
(I was born to shine)
I made the game turn!
(I made the game turn)

I remember all the hustle
Like yesterday
Blood, sweat, and ambition
Keep us
I remember well who was there
Out of nowhere everything can change

I only keep the willingness
Always
I come back stronger
I'm at the forefront
Without forgetting what the street teaches
There are things that will never change
